A Raspberry Pi
Make it with Microsoft Expression and host it on an old PC. S'what I did.
[url]http://www.lithiumhosting.com/shared[/url] First option, $10 a year or so it says. Can register a domain with them too. For creation you could get a template from say...[url]http://templatemonster.com[/url] and modify it to suit your needs.
I just registered a domain through go-daddy and built a website with freeway pro.
Web flow for design, dunno about hosting.
Ask an astronomer :v:
use microsoft office 2003 for creating the website
000webhost.com hosts for free, godaddy.com has very reasonable domain name rates. As for actually designing your website, in my opinion it's best to do it all from hand without a template. Learn html, css, and php at the bare minimum, it will only help in the future / long run.
Lithium hosting or bust I love them, any business I do websites for is hosted under them
tumblr if you're doing a small portfolio thing, and don't need anything big and scary, you can use tumblr on your domain
You really don't need a domain name if you want it just to be a portfolio. Tumblr would work nice
[QUOTE=Map in a box;42080457]You really don't need a domain name if you want it just to be a portfolio. Tumblr would work nice[/QUOTE] It's a lot more professional-looking, though. For 10-25 bucks a year, why not
I'm a professional web developer!
I'm not the best of developers but if you don't want you make your site, I could make it for you. Just ask. I'll do my best.
I think you can get a custom url for tumblr, too. Just in case you don't want it saying ____.tumblr.com
find some WYSIWYG editors for your website and shit its either that or be lazy and find an easy CMS
For free hosting I recommend github. My website is hosted there currently and it always loads fast. [url]http://computoid.com[/url]

How to learn to make websites : - Learn HTML5 and CSS - Make a simple static website - Learn PHP with some POO/MVC basics - Make 1 or 2 dynamic websites (website with news, a forum, blog, etc.) - Learn some Javascript and Jquery - Add cool functionalities to your dynamic websites with Jquery - Learn a PHP framework, I recommend Symfony2 and Twig, but there is Zend framework, code igniter, cakePHP, etc. - Learn a CSS framework like Bootstrap, Blueprint, foundation, less, etc. If Symfony2 is too complicated for you (it's probably the most complicated thing I've learned, the learning curve is insane) you can learn how to use Wordpress, which is a great CMS, you can make your own theme and customize it however you want Tools needed : - A text editor, I recommend Sublime text 2 You will learn how to host your website when learning html5/css/php if the tutorials you are reading are good.
$400 worth of hardware and a colocation center. Webhosting at your own whim. Or rather, in a week, I could host any number of small time sites, woopy doop. On a serious note, when I tried web design, I did stuff by hand.

Because PHP is great.
[QUOTE=Leif_;42170659]Because PHP is great.[/QUOTE] No it's not, it's fucking janky. There are so many better options for back-end web dev.
